Overall unimpressed. My coworker recommended this spot and looking at it online seemed good. The food was pretty tasteless, even tasting kind of like a cleaning product which wasn’t too appetizing. My fiance said her dish didn’t taste like anything either. Staff seemed overall disinterested and barely acknowledged us until who I think was the manager took our order. He was a nice guy, made me a good cocktail and good glass of wine. I hope you have a better experience than I do if you decide to dine here.

Absolutely amazing! Where do I start? The service is splendid! The food was just perfect, everything tasted so delicious. It was my first time here and I had such an awesome time. I will definitely be back. We had the lasagna, oh my goodness best lasagna I’ve ever had in my life. It was just perfectly balance of sauce and cheese and just pure greatness. Thank you everyone for serving your customers just right.

Nice Italian restaurant, delicious special chicken dishes and pastas. Their Lemon Drop cocktail is amazing. We were their last week. Nice soft Italian music brings one back to Italy. Their toasted bread basket is fresh and tasty. I am impressed and hope to go there soon. Excellent choice.

Nice atmosphere, very polite and friendly staffs except one who was keep pumping my head unapologetically when he was bringing food for others, pouring water for others….I think he was punishing me for not recognizing my order when he brought it to the table The ordered was LAMB OSSOBUCO Lamb Shank, Braised with Vegetables and Red Wine Served with Pappardelle pasta Lamb Sauce $47.95. When he brought food to the table he said OSSOBUCO? Not LAMB OSSOBUCO. I couldn’t see any sign of Lamb, except one big meatball dumped in very heavy sauced pasta, Sauce was more visible than pasta itself with no vegetable. That is why I said no that is not my order. He came back and said “didn’t you ordered Lamb”. My response was oh I’m so sorry that is lamb? yes I ordered lamb, so I took my food politely with no fuss and placed it in front of me. After second or maybe third bite of pasta and sauce, I could see my stomach started burning. I stopped eating and started playing with the food because the tiny small bread basket for 10 people on the table was empty so I couldn’t eat bread either to settle my stomach. Other 10 people on the table noticed and the asked “every thing is ok, you don’t like your food”? I said “it has too much sauce”. All suggested that I should returned the food back and ask for something else , but I didn’t want to be difficult person and make big fuss about it, especially when I was being punished already by the guy waiter who was bumping my head frequently for not recognizing my food. Also I was there with invitations of good friend and her family. Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of the food either before dumping it in garbage can in the parking lot. I would not tell anybody what they should do, but for sure I would not suggest this restaurant to any of my family members and friends.

This is becoming our family’s go-to restaurant for get togethers. Fantastic food, excellent service! We’ve come in groups as small as 5 and as large as 15 and we consistently get amazing service and wonderful food. I’m also going to highly recommend the excellent amaretto sour the bar serves up *chef’s kiss*

Environment/ambience: cozy type restaurant. they can host small and larger tables. They had a TV on at the bar so we could watch the football game too. They have full bar but we had beer and wine. Mixed crowd.

Been going here for years! Good food, great atmosphere and very good value. One of the top Italian restaurants in the valley and not an arm and a leg, like its competition. Parking and traffic are tough.

Michael did a great job with suggestions. I went with happy hour lobster bisque with shrimp. Filet mignon and white truffle pizza. My co-worker got the swordfish. Everything was delicious!

Wonderful and comprehensive selection of seafood, fresh pasta, chicken, beef. If you are a fan of wine, Olivia has an extensive list both by the glass and by the bottle. You will not be disappointed! They have a spacious dining room and an outdoor patio in the rear. You will not be disappointed. Just one block off Ventura on Van. It’s Blvd.
